The non-trivial complete totally geodesic submanifolds of the complex hyperbolic plane $\mathbb H_{\mathbb C}^2$ are the complex geodesics and the real planes. We present two new proofs for this fact. One is a short proof based on an…

We show that on every compact Riemannian 2-orbifold there exist infinitely many closed geodesics of positive length.

In this paper, we show that isotropic Lagrangian submanifolds in a $6$-dimensional strict nearly K\"ahler manifold are totally geodesic. Moreover, under some weaker conditions, a complete classification of the $J$-isotropic Lagrangian…

Using an approach developed by Melrose to study the geometry at infinity of the Nakajima metric on the reduced Hilbert scheme of points on $\mathbb{C}^2$, we show that the Nakajima metric on a quiver variety is quasi-asymptotically conical…

In this note we show the following result using the integral-geometric formula of R. Howard: Consider the totally geodesic $\mathbb{R}P^{2m}$ in $\mathbb{C}P^n$. Then it minimizes volume among the isotropic submanifolds in the same…

We prove that a normal homogeneous space with the property that every Jacobi field along a geodesic vanishing at two points is the restriction of a Killing field along that geodesic is a globally symmetric space.

We investigate the geometry of the space of immersed closed curves equipped with reparametrization-invariant Riemannian metrics; the metrics we consider are Sobolev metrics of possible fractional order $q\in [0,\infty)$. We establish the…

We study the Hausdorff dimension of Gibbs measures with infinite entropy with respect to maps of the interval with countably many branches. We show that under simple conditions, such measures are symbolic-exact dimensional, and provide an…

We consider $L^2$ minimizing geodesics along the group of volume preserving maps $SDiff(D)$ of a given 3-dimensional domain $D$. The corresponding curves describe the motion of an ideal incompressible fluid inside $D$ and are (formally)…

Geodesic contraction in vector-valued differential equations is readily verified by linearized operators which are uniformly negative-definite in the Riemannian metric. In the infinite-dimensional setting, however, such analysis is…

It is well-known that a paracompact space X is of covering dimension n if and only if any map f from X to a simplicial complex K can be pushed into its n-skeleton. We use the same idea to define dimension in the coarse category. It turns…

This note constructs a compact, real-analytic, riemannian 4-manifold ({\Sigma}, g) with the properties that: (1) its geodesic flow is completely integrable with smooth but not real-analytic integrals; (2) {\Sigma} is diffeomorphic to $T^2…

We construct a universal space for the class of proper metric spaces of bounded geometry and of given asymptotic dimension. As a consequence of this result, we establish coincidence of the asymptotic dimension with the asymptotic inductive…

We present a moduli space for all hyperbolic basic sets of diffeomorphisms on surfaces that have an invariant measure that is absolutely continuous with respect to Hausdorff measure. To do this we introduce two new invariants: the measure…

We prove that any absolutely continuous probability measure on a high-dimensional linear space has low-dimensional marginals that are approximately spherically-symmetric.

This is an overview article. In his Habilitationsvortrag, Riemann described infinite dimensional manifolds parameterizing functions and shapes of solids. This is taken as an excuse to describe convenient calculus in infinite dimensions…

In this paper, we prove there are at least two closed geodesics on any compact bumpy Finsler $n$-manifold with finite fundamental group and $n\ge 2$. Thus generically there are at least two closed geodesics on compact Finsler manifolds with…

It is conjectured that every cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold admits a geometric triangulation, i.e. it is decomposed into positive volume ideal hyperbolic tetrahedra. Here, we show that sufficiently highly twisted knots admit a geometric…

It has long been appreciated that the toroidal reduction of any gravity or supergravity to two dimensions gives rise to a scalar coset theory exhibiting an infinite-dimensional global symmetry. This symmetry is an extension of the…
